Stella, stellina

Stella, stellina

I asked Emanuela Marsura, a teacher in Italy, if they have an Italian version of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star and she wrote: "We do not have a song like this. One that is a little like it might be 'Stella stellina'"…

Star, Little Star

Lullaby

(English)

Star, little star,Night is approaching.The flame flickers.The cow in the barn,The cow and the calf,The sheep and the lamb,The hen* with the chick Everyone has his child,Everyone has his motherAnd everyone went beddy-bye**.

Star, little star,Night is approaching.The flame flickers.The cow in the barn,The cow and the calf,The sheep and the lamb,The hen* with the chick Everyone has his child,Everyone has his motherAnd everyone went beddy-bye**.
